Free Pictures of ‘29 Recession, FDR & WWII

from the library
In a search for documents I have come across the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Library and Museum in New York State, which has a lot of archival material for anyone working on war policy, the New Deal and the 1929 depression but also offers a copyright-free archive of pictures from the period.
Not all their Pictures, images, videos and text are available on-line, but a good portion can be accessed directly and can make for a nice addition to any lecture / talk / paper on the period or its people. And you can get 1,000 pictures of FDR and his wife, 500 Great Depression and New Deal Photos, as well as 500 WWII and Lend-Lease images, and lots of sound or video from the period.
An amazing ressource for the on-line researcher, and of course for anyone who has access to the actual library.
